interesting - I did not realize that there were so many of these
paintings. Lots of different versions of the same lute player.

Many paintings are attributed to the so-called Master of the Half
Lengths, and may be seen at

The three ladies making music together (top row, 6th painting along)
are performing Claudin de Sermisy's "Jouyssance vous donneray". Does
anyone know what music is being played by the other musicians, for
example, the soloist (top row, 2nd painting along)?
